The Czernowitz Synagogue was a domed, Moorish Revival synagogue built in 1873 in Czernowitz, Austria-Hungary (today Chernivtsi, Ukraine). The synagogue was closed in 1940 and serves as a movie theater today.
History
The original building was designed by architect Julian Zachariewicz (1873–78).[1]
The synagogue was confiscated and closed by the Soviet government after annexing Northern Bukovina and its largest city, Czernowitz, from Romania in 1940. The building was burned by German and Romanian soldiers in 1941, after Nazi-allied Romania retook the city. After World War II the Soviet authorities tried to blow up the destroyed temple, but the building survived.Шаблон:Citation needed In 1959, the outer walls were used to partially reconstruct the building for use as a movie theater that was named Шаблон:Transl ('October', in honor of the October Revolution). The building lost its dome and retains very little of its former appearance. After the fall of the Soviet Union the theater lost its Soviet name and was renamed "Chernivtsi".[1]
Joseph Schmidt sang in the choir as a boy and served as cantor as an adult.Шаблон:Citation needed
